How to choose Pipe tee

Tee is a pipe fittings. Also known as tee fittings or pipe tee, it is used in the branch of the main pipe. Pipe tee is a kind of chemical pipe fittings with three exports, one import and two exports, or two imports and one export. In terms of shape, pipe tee has T and Y shapes, equal diameter tee and reduced tee. The main function of the tee is to change the direction of the fluid.

Our company has complete production equipment, exquisite heat treatment technology and advanced testing equipment. Pipe tee and other pipe fittings are mainly exported to the United States, Malaysia, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. It has the ability of chemical analysis, full-phase inspection, physical experiment, non-destructive testing and so on. It can produce all kinds of standard stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel elbow, seamless elbow, seamless tee, high pressure diameter pipe, alloy pipe cap, large flange, socket and socket welding pipe fittings at home and abroad.

Process characteristics of hot-pressed pipe tee

1. Pipe tee hot pressing is to flatten the billet larger than the diameter of the tee to the size of the diameter of the tee, and to open a hole in the part of the drawing branch.
2. The tube blank is heated and put into the forming die, and the drawing die for the branch pipe is installed in the tube blank.
3. Under the action of pressure, the billet is compressed radially. During the process of radial compression, the metal flows to the branch pipe and forms the branch pipe under the drawing of the die.

Advantages of Hot Pressed Pipe tee

1. Hot-pressed tee reduces the tonnage of equipment needed for material forming.
2. Hot-pressed tees have wide adaptability to materials and are suitable for low carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel, especially for tees with large diameter and thicker tube wall.
3. Hot-pressed tees have beautiful appearance, smooth surface, acid, alkali and high temperature resistance, and are widely used.

Magnetic particle detection for pipe tee

Magnetic particle detection is very important for pipe tee. Because of the production process and shape characteristics of tee, tee becomes a very easy crack. But the cracks in this production are invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, our company's three-way production, 100% must pass the magnetic powder test, in order to leave the factory.

1.This is a picture of the first crack found:

2. In the process of eliminating the defect and grinding, magnetic particle testing was carried out on other base materials, and the cracks became clearer：

Therefore, when you purchase pipe tee, you must distinguish the quality of the product. There are many hidden dangers in the use of tees which have not been tested by 100%. It may even affect the whole project. Price is important, but engineering safety is even more important.
